We Invite Your Homeschooler Prek through Grade 4

Welcome to Forest Time Kindergarten & Forest Homeschool

Forest School or Nature Schooling is a popular early education format across Europe & is becoming one of the best alternatives to traditional classrooms in the U.S. due to varied benefits it offers each child. Forest Time Kindergarten is the first forest school in Northwest Ohio& we are proud to welcome children ages 3 to Grade 4 to our program.

PLAY - EXPLORE - LEARN - GROW

Our classes are held almost exclusively outside as children are encouraged to learn through their greatest tool: PLAY.  



It is our hope your children will discover a lasting love of the outdoors & learning through our programs.

Setting Them Up For Success

Children with nature rich, playful & child centered experiences learn to manage risk, have better critical thinking skills, & score higher on standardized testing.



Research shows forest school kids also have healthier, more neurologically integrated bodies (think fine & gross motor skill development).


What is Forest Time Kindergarten & Forest Homeschool?

At Forest Time Kindergarten, we provide learning experiences that nurture the full developmental needs: PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE & SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL of a young child. 


Forest Schooling is nature based learning & education that embraces the child as a whole.
